Nick Chubb Week 15 Outlook - Raiders at Browns

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 16th 2021, 5:34am EST

The COVID-19 chaos in Cleveland might boost Chubb's Week 15 fantasy value. The Browns are going to be without QB Baker Mayfield, WR Jarvis Landry, and TE Austin Hooper, who all landed on the COVID-19 list this week. There's also a good chance they'll be without Kareem Hunt, who injured his ankle last weekend and hasn't been able to practice. When Hunt was sidelined by a calf injury earlier this season, Chubb averaged 19.4 fantasy points (0.5 PPR) over a three-game stretch from Halloween to mid-November, with 52-328-3 rushing and 5-48-1 receiving. Chubb is a must-start this week against a Raiders run defense that's giving up 21.8 fantasy points per game to running backs. He's the RB2 in this week's rankings behind only Jonathan Taylor.
